Embroidery Hoop

Hi Folks, Laura here today.

I'm sharing this embroidery hoop that I have decorated with papers, rub ons and lace.

I used my favourite lace - Volcan viscose lace in mint along with some 3mm grosgrain to make a hanging loop.

I typed out and trimmed some dictionary definitions.

The main quote is traced on to vellum.  The butterfly rub ons are also added to vellum and fussy cut out.

You can watch how the entire project came together:

Gift Bag

Hi Guys,  Laura here today with a Christmas Gift Bag.

I took a plain white bag and gave it a good spritz with gold spray ink.  I concentrated more colour at the top of the bag and let it fade out towards the bottom.  You can pick up blank paper bags at most craft stores, or recycle ones you have been given. 

I've taken two ribbons from the Santa's Grotto range and painted the backs with matte medium.  When this is dry it allows you to fussy cut the ribbon without fraying.  I matted the large motif on to some gold mirror card, and layered it up over a couple of pieces of lace.

I then added two of the tag motifs to the base of the handle.  Perfect for giving a gift this Christmas, not terribly time consuming, and even something you can get the kids to join in with... go on, do some Christmas crafting!!

Ingredients:
Tag Ribbon
Badge Ribbon
2mm silk ribbon
Volcan Lace
Clermont Lace

A Layout with Laura

Hi, Laura here!  I have been procrastinating tidying my desk for a few weeks.  I took it one step further by deciding to make a layout with items from my desktop only.  I shove stuff on my desk all the time - packaging, mail shots with nice colours, ephemera/sweets wrappers, extra cameo cuts etc.

I have a few bits of lace near my craft mat all the time - today it was some cotton Morlaix in white and some viscose Volcan in mint.  I also pulled a few offcuts of sheer Swiss dots ribbon.

I added some flicks of ink to the background and I'm happy with how it has turned out!

Thanks for stopping by!
